[mdl-help] Spacemarine Wh40k Q3

ArgOnatH · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">model help request</div> Lo all. Just browsing the P O L Y C O U N T site for WH40K models, and found this baby for
Quake 3, BUT the problem is its in pk3 format, ive never herd of this format and cant find a
programe that will even open this type of file.

can sum one pls tell me how i can open this baby up and get him running in NS
cuz this baby is sweeet!

heres a screeny

It's delightfully simple. pk3s are just zip files by another name - use winzip to get at its contents.

Isn't that the one Wolf Kahler converted though? If it is, you could save yourself some effort and just grab that nice-looking ultramarine skin to put onto the already-converted model.

does that model also have the space marine jetpack thingy? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

and no, it is NOT the model that was converted bei Wolf Kahler.

Wolf_Kahler · February 2003

Search for any threads started by me. The download links still work.

ArgOnatH · February 2003

trust me that aint no Jet pack, its some sort of air purifing thing, the JPs are alot bigger look like engins (of course) i'll show u a pic of JP marines....

As u can see the packs on em a massive.

To deffenetly get this model out, i need to know wat program opens .SKIN files?! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> any one know?

Wolf_Kahler · February 2003

You don't need to worry about the SKIN files, thankfully. Just import the model, import the textures, assign the right textures to the right model bits and they'll be skinned. You need to convert the JPEG and TGA files to 8-bit BMP's, though, before you compile it in to an MDL.

ArgOnatH · February 2003

Any one know of any good tutorials on how to convert models, say form Q3 to HL.

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> i u do pls tell me it will help alot, ive looked on Modeling 101 thread and cant see any tbh

Maus · February 2003

I think all you do is import the skeleton of the NS model you're replacing, and assign the relevant parts of the Q3 model to the relevant bones of the skeleton.

It's rather tedious, but I don't know of an easier way.

ArgOnatH · February 2003

Update.

heres wat he looks like so far. I got 3 skins for him and im using the Blood Angles
skin atm, ive darkend it at touched it up a bit. but i cant find the skin for the Healmet

armgimpeh · February 2003

Lookin' mighty fine there!

However, I have some questions for you. Do you plan to model the jetpack and will you do some of the weapons? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

ArgOnatH · February 2003

the files i can use in tga format are all these red_1 red_2 etc they are like body and pads and pack on the back of the marine and then the other files are like red_head.skin! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

Yeah i will probs do a jet pack cuz its well simple to model!

and there is a bolt gun that comes with it i might convert!

<b>MAY I REMIND PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT MY MODEL, THIS WAS MADE FOR QUAKE 3, AND I AM ONLY CONVERTING IT AND TOUCHING UP THE SKIN!</b>

ArgOnatH · February 2003

yeah i will make a jet pack soon. i might do a little model pack, i found a Terminator model on P O L Y C O U N T S site , and theres a bolter that comes with this model too!

just need to find these other skins!?

just a question, wat programe does open them?!

Morgoth · February 2003
